I need to do the same moving some weeks as I was down for the count with shingles etc. I saw this on another post in Uphill Athlete:

Thanks to Carter Wehrer at Training Peaks here is a simple way to bump/shift a week or whatever timeframe you want. I wanted to repeat week 7 of the 24 week program and the instructions below worked perfectly, simply and quickly. I do have the premium account not the free TP account.

From Carter at TP:
To repeat Week 7, you will want to shift weeks 8-24. Please follow the below steps to make the necessary changes:
• Select the date header for the first day, Monday, of week 8 (the 3 dashes next to the date)
• Hold ‘Shift’ on your keyboard
• Select the date header of the final day of week 24 (the 3 dashes next to the date)
• Weeks 8-24 should now be highlighted and a selection popup will come up
• Either Shift to new date, or cut/paste
• Once 8-24 are moved, you can then copy/paste week 7

Hi Chantelle, you had mentioned to Suzy about it taking 4-6weeks for acclimatizing (sea level to about 1500m above sea level). My brain is trying to break this down that higher altitude less O2. haemoglobin needs to increase yes? to bring more O2 to the tissues is that correct? What does training look like ? Would you just stay at Z1 majority and or what exactly is happening with blood plasma is it thickening or thinning Im so curious. -Pie.

Hello Everyone. So nice to read about people that are on this 2023 FUA forum. Looking forward to kicking it up a notch this year. I did this forum last year and loved it. Kept me on point and I learned A LOT… like A LOT! I am an Acupuncturist in Kaikoura, New Zealand and I love trail / Mountain running/ hiking. I have plans and I endeavour to carry out those plans as best as I can with strength and grace. I’m reading about all you guys from New York, Connecticut, and Vermont!!!! I grew up in New York and I would have loved to connect to you all and head out on fun excursions. I moved to New Zealand…will be 15 years ago this coming March. I’m a mom to a beautiful daughter and wife to a mountain man – hunter/ surfer. Training is hard to get the time in, but I MAKE it happen. I just need to be super organised. Probably why I love this forum and training bc it doesn’t allow me to sloth and side with my dreamy Piscean self. I missed the orientation call as I signed up late but look forward to meeting you all on zoom. Oh right, I’m 46 and perimenopausal “Fun times” so being with like-minded women and able to discuss being a woman in our sports is so important to me.

Hi Melanie.

It makes complete sense. For some reason I just never put foam rolling into that category. It just made my sleep SO much better but of course hitting that deep neuro level.

🙂 it may relax me too much. It had definitely broadened my perspective especially that so many things work quite differently for many people. I now know truly what it does for me and where to place it in my training programme.

Have fun out there!
Warmly,
Pie

“Any deep work, rolling, massage, PT, chiropractic self care or acupuncture ( ; should have 24 hrs rest afterward.” Indeed! Was def an interesting experience and noted for myself and it’s something I state in clinic – haha just didn’t register for myself bc I was just “rolling” per say.

Re: HR strap – just didn’t even cross my mind and yes perfect sense. Also if coming across someone out there – where maybe you do need to set off your beacon etc.. these days so many wear smart watches, of course phones, and wireless ear buds as well as now – bluetooth hearing aids. Just out of habit phone is always on airplane mode or off when I’m out back.

Very Helpful and another thank you to you and Maya for the TONS of awesome INFO you have placed on this forum. I have created a word doc with all the links and tidbits that will help me as much as others. Many Blessings.
